    Košir-Pogačnik, Renata, dr. med. ; Meden-Vrtovec, Helena
    Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age in 10.20% under the American criteria and 15.22% under the European criteria. It ... is presented with disorders in the menstrual cycles, hirsutism, acne, alopecia and obesity. Nowadays, metformin drug has joined the traditional and established methods oftreatment that are mainly focused to prevention of the leading symptom (hirsutism or irregular periods or fertility problems). Metformin is a peroralanti-diabetic agent that increases insulin sensitivity. Insulin stimulates androgen secretion by the ovarian stroma and appears to affect the normal development of ovarian follicles by suppressing apoptosis and permitting the survival of follicles otherwise destined to disappear. The longterm sequelae of insulin resistance may be the development of insulin-dependent diabetes and dyslipidemia. Conclusions The results of meta-analysis and other studies confirm that metformin prevents the progress of insulin resistance, has a favourable impact on loosing weight and is effective in induction of ovulation, mainly in clomiphen resistant women.
